Custom MMIC's BroadRange Distributed Amplifiers feature dynamic range over ultra-wide bandwidths

May 17, 2016

Custom MMIC, a leading developer of performance driven monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), has developed a growing family of distributed amplifiers, called BroadRange Distributed Amplifiers™, with bandwidths from DC to 50 GHz. The distributed amplifiers provide industry leading performance in terms of dynamic range, frequency bandwidth and power consumption.

The BroadRange Distributed Amplifier™ product line consists of over ten released products, with five more to be revealed next week at IMS2016, where Custom MMIC is exhibiting in booth #1950. The amplifiers are provided in low-profile die or QFN packaged and offer single positive supply operation, positive gain slope over frequency, and 50 Ohm matching for ease of design, smaller and lower power systems.

These amplifiers have low bias voltage requirements down to 3V and bias currents as low as 32 mA. With DC to 50 GHz bandwidth, OIP3 of 22 to 32 dBm, P1dB of 12 to 29 dBm, and Psat of 12 to 29 dBm, the BroadRange Distributed amplifier family has much to offer EW, wideband communication, and instrumentation applications.
